Sounds promising. Where do you ship from in the US? I have a bloke who operates out of a shady warehouse in New Jersey.

Are your kits specification graded? I wanted to keep the original stud pattern but end up with larger and perhaps ventilated rotors. Do your kits use SN95 Mustang parts?

Specification Graded? Not sure what you mean there.. My kits can be adjusted to varying weight differences due to motor swaps.. It can be adjusted for ride height and ride dampening preference, etc, etc,..

My kit offers our 11 inch standard brakes in a Drilled slotted Rotor, and can be upgraded to a 14 inch Rotor and 6 piston Calipers. For a small upgrade fee, I will be offering standard Calipers and the Drilled Slotted rotors..

The Wheel bolt pattern will remain the same for your car, whether it be for the 4x4.5 pattern or the later 5x108mm pattern. All the standard maintenance parts are available at local parts stores, and are normally kept on the shelves.

Robert,

Apologies. I wanted to ask if you had to buy all the parts in the kit, or if components of it were available separately. For example, if I just wanted the brake kit. That's what I meant by 'specification graded'.

I've read it back to myself, it doesn't really make a lot of sense. I fail.

No problem.. The components will not be available seperately, but you can upgrade at anytime if you purchase a kit and wish to change something later.. As far as the brake components and other items, they will not interchange with any Volvo by themselves. All those components rely on my crossmember and other custom made items to allow the aftermarket components to work on your factory Volvo.

While we are on this topic, What will happen to your old front brake setup on your Amazon? It looked like a nice setup and worked with the stock crossmember.

The front brake (Red Caliper) set up is what is offered in the base kit, and it is not compatible with the original crossmember. Those are general motors Calipers and Ford rotors on a ford spindle.. The ford spindle works with the tubular control arms, that are attached to the customer crossmember..

Here are some pictures of the 14 inch Wilwood Drilled/Slotted Rotor and 6 Piston Caliper kit.. The other 11 inch Drilled/Slotted Rotor is an upgrade also, which will be considerably less. The kit comes standard with the 11 Smooth Rotors.

I will have some updated pictures of the complete Front end kit later this weekd.
